From this morning's email:

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

As someone who has purchased books by Sharon Lee, you might like to know that "One-minute Praises: Prayers to Brighten Your Day" is now available in paperback. You can order your copy by
following the link below.

One-minute Praises: Prayers to Brighten Your Day
Steve Miller
List Price : $5.99
Price : $5.99

Back in the late 50s/early 60s, there was a fan dancer named Sharon Lee. I don't think I'm currently sharing with anyone in the adult entertainment industry, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if I were.

Darn!
Here and I thought to get some day-brightening kernels
of wisdom from one I know and respect
as a brilliant (and ever-so-cheerful) sage!
My hopes are dashed yet again.

We can hope all those prayerful people will also run right to buy Crystal Solider and Sword of Orion...

Got one of these too and sent Amazon a comment about it. Actually got a response back that actually sounded like they had read the comment. Basically they said they were working on refining the process and that my message had been forwarded to the "appropriate people".
